Default Remember Knight Rider?

Remember that awesome indestructible car from the TV series, Knight Rider? Apparently, there is a product on the civilian market that can mimic the Molecular Bonded Shell that KITT wore. The US government is having helicopters sprayed in it.

It ain't cheap, though. $50 per square foot. :shock:

It's kind of like that episode of "Smash Lab" on the Discovery Channel, where they reinforced a 2X4 with carbon fiber, and then had 5 people stand on it, and it didn't even bend.

i had the bed of my f150 done with it 10 years ago and it still looks great. no fading, scratches, dings......nothing. it was @ $350 to do a 6' stepside, but it's been worth it.

i wonder how much it would cost to do a whole humvee? :?:

That test with the office walls is BS. The wall that came down after the blast was not even concreted together. :shock:

Probably, but that test with the cinderblock kinda nullifies that.

Speaking of that show, I thought they were bringing it back? I saw a premier of it, and then never heard anything after that; did it not go over well or ????

It wasn't very well produced. I watched a few episodes, and they just dragged on and on and on.
